Published by Funk and Wagnalls between 1884 and 1906, this newspaper reported, in a sensational fashion, the state of drinking in the country. Over the course of a year, the Voice referenced numerous eastern colleges and universities, naming Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, and many others as chief among the problems of intemperance. A favorite tactic was exposing the venues of dens of vice or parties, and then printing the names of the attendees, while another was printing maps of college campuses and identifying the “rum shops” surrounding them.
